Urban Brigade To Police Festivals

From The Montreal Gazette:

With a host of summer festival's about to begin, Montreal police have created an urban brigade dedicated to ensuring the events are safe and secure.

The police department launched the brigade yesterday at a ceremony in front of Place des Arts that featured its mounted corps, police on bicycles and electric three-wheelers, and 82 police cadets.

All have volunteered to serve on the brigade, a pilot project headed this year by Commander Roxane Pitre.
